MEALS FOR THE MOMENT
This program is designed to provide nutritious meals to those individuals/families during times of need. These times may arise when there is an illness to oneself or someone in the family, where injury or illness takes place preventing you from providing this service to oneself/family, or death in the family.
During these times of need, cooking may become a burden to some, therefore community volunteers from the "Meals for the Moment" program, would be pleased to provide you and/or your family with prepared nutritious meals to help you get through the difficult time.
If this service is something you feel would benefit you or someone you know, please contact Rita Hasson, "Meals for the Moment" Coordinator at 780-961-4117 or the Town Office at 780-961-3773. Please note that if your name is forwarded to us by a concerned community member, we call for your permission to provide the service and that it is provided in the strictest of confidence.
Anyone who enjoys cooking and would like to give back to the community may contact Rita or the Town Office as mentioned above, and we will add you to our contact list for volunteer meal providers.
